Not too long ago, an almost exact situation occurred here in Minneapolis
at a large law firm except I think the con was a fake litigator. There
were big concerns about any attempts to challenge the cases she worked
on as be invalid or subject to motions to reopen, challenge settlement
agreements and vacate judgments by opposing counsel wanting to relitigate
the cases. Seems almost unbelievable that you’d be able to get away
with this at all, let alone for any length of time . . . Full story here:
Was law firm duped? ‘Lawyer’ practiced there a decade and won
partnership; was she licensed?.
